1 THE ANALYSIS OF RATIO HYPERTENSION PREVALENCE OF DISTRICT ABEPURA COMMUNITY IN JAYAPURA CITY HASMI Lecturer Epidemiology, Faculty of Public Health Cenderawasih University Papua; ABSTRACT According to the Prevalence of hypertension worldwide, estimated at about 15-20%. The prevalence of hypertension in 2007 in Papua totally 22.0%. In Jayapura, the second highest prevalence of hypertension is in General Hospital Abepura, which is 15.85%, whereas Abepura Hospital is the referral center of the District Abepura Community. This study aims to determine the ratio of prevalence risk of hypertension disease with risk, among others; Age, sex, ethnicity, genetics, occupation, diet, Smoking habits, Physical Activity, obesity. This research is analytic survey with cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study as many as 99 people were selected at random or random sampling. Variable Obesity was measured by anthropometric measurements and other independent variables were measured by questionnaires. While the dependent variable is measured by sphygmomanometer and digital tensimeter. The analysis used in this research is Univariate Analysis, Bivariate Analysis. The research results showed that from eight independent variables in the ratio analysis Prevalence known variable that the prevalence ratio is significant with age RP = 3.79 CI 95% (1,8-7,9) and 7 other variable variables Gender RP 1.04 (0,5-1,96), RP = 0,77 (0,35-2,0), Genetic RP = 1,59 (0,89-2,8) and Occupational risk RP = 078 (0, 34-1,78), obesity RP = 1.31 ( ), Smoked RP = 0.78 ( ), Physical activity RP = 0.78 (0.43-1,41). Keywords: Hypertension, risk factors 1. PRELIMINARY Prevalence of hypertension worldwide, estimated at about 15-20%. Hypertension is more prevalent in middle age at age years. Hypertension in Asia is estimated to reach points 8-18% in 1997, hypertension is found in 4,400 per 10,000 population. Result of Household Health Survey 1995, in year 2000 about 15-20% of people of Indonesia suffer from Hypertension (Ministry of Health RI, 2003 ) Prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia obtained through measurement at age 18 years of 25.8 percent, the highest point in Bangka Belitung (30.9%), followed by South Kalimantan (30.8%), East Kalimantan (29.6%) and Java West (29.4%). The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia obtained through questionnaires diagnosed by health personnel amounted to 9.4 percent, diagnosed with health personnel or taking medication 9.5 percent. So, there are 0.1 percent who take their own medication. Respondents who had normal blood pressure but were taking hypertension drugs were 0.7 percent. So the prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia is 26.5 percent (25.8% + 0.7%) (Riskesdas, 2013). The prevalence of hypertension in Papua is 22.0%. In 2007, ages years incidence in men (22.0%), and in women (21.9%). The survey results from the districts / cities in 2007 that have the lowest prevalence of hypertension are Jayawijaya (6.8%) and the highest is Manokwari (27.27%) and Keerom Regency is 25.7% (Riskesdas, 2008). Comparison of hypertension cases of several hospitals in Jayapura City, Poly Disease Division is as follows, the proportion of hypertension cases in 2012 in Jayapura District General Hospital are 4,752 cases (21.85%), Abepura District General Hospital as many as 234 cases (15.85% ), While Dian Harapan Hospital had 240 cases (18.03%). From the above data it can be seen that the second highest case of hypertension is in the Abepura Regional General Hospital, where Abepura Hospital is the referral center of the District Abepura community. Based on the results of preliminary studies in District Abepura of 75 people examined it was found that the proportion of hypertension was 69% and did not have 1

2 31% hypertension. This shows that more people are diagnosed with hypertension. Based on the results of the preliminary examination, the researchers are interested to know how much risk of some risk factors for the incidence of hypertension in the District Abepura. 2. RESEARCH METHODS A. Types and Research Design This research is an analytic survey with crosssectional approach. Is a cross-sectional study to study the dynamics of correlation between factors - risk factors with effects, with the approach, observation, or the collection of data at a time (Hasmi, 2012). B. Population and Sample 1. Population Population is the whole element / subject of research. The population in this study is all residents who live in Abepura District of Jayapura City. 2. Sample The sample is a subset of the population selected in a particular way that is considered representative of the population. The sample in this study is part of the population. Samples were chosen at random or random sampling. 3. Large Samples The large sample formulas used according to Stanley Lemeshow are as follows: N = Z 1-α/2 2 [P 1(1-P 1)+ P 2(1-P 2)] d 2 Information: N = Sample Z 1-α / 2 = Confidence (95%) P 1 = The proportion of cases = 69% P 2 = The proportion is not the case = 31% D = Precision (15%) A). Large Sample Z 2 1-α / 2 [(P1 (1-P1) + P2 (1-P2)] N = d 2 Where: P1: number of cases of hypertension / population number 69% or 69 out of 100 people P2: (Number of population-cases) / population number 31% or 31 out of 100 people d 2: 13% Z 1-α / 2 2 = 1.96 So: [(P1 (1-P1) + P2 (1-P2)] N = = 3.84 [(0.69) (1-0.69) (1-0.31)] = 3.84 [( ) + ( )]

Age Hypertension Occurrence Total P Value RP 95% CI At risk Not at risk test P value is the value obtained in which the value of P values 0.00 (0.00) significantly smaller than a predetermined level (α = 0.05) then Ho is rejected. Thus statistically the decision can be made that there is a relationship between age with the incidence of hypertension. Results analysis The prevalence ratio (RP) between age and incidence of hypertension obtained a value of at CI 95% by number Lower -upper 1.8 to 7.9, which means the age variable risk ( 45 years) is a risk factor for hypertension. Thus, respondents with risky age ( 45 years) had a 3.79 times greater risk of developing hypertension than those who were not at risk (<45 years). 2.Analysis of Sexual Prevalence Ratio with Hypertension occurrence Table 5.2. Prevalence and Chi Square Ratio Analysis Gender and Hypertension Incidence In District Abepura Community year 2016 Gender Hypertension Occurrence Total P Value RP 95% CI Man Women test values obtained P value was 1.00 where the value of the P value (1.00) is greater than a predetermined relationship between the sex with the incidence of hypertension. sexes with hypertension obtained a value of in the Confidence Interval (CI 95%) obtained a value of 0.5 to Thus, gender variables are not risk factors for hypertension patients community. 3.

DISCUSSION Statistical analysis showed that the relationship between both variables significant at P value = 0.00 and RP = 3.79 which means there is a relationship between age and the incidence of hypertension. This research is in line with research conducted by Herke Silargaki in Bogor Village, Bulus Pesantren, Kebumen Regency in 2006 which states there is a relationship between age with the incidence Hypertension is one of the degenerative diseases. With increasing age, the blood pressure will also increase due to some physiological changes. After the age of 45 years there is an increase in peripheral resistance and sympathetic activity. The walls of the arteries will experience thickening due to the accumulation of collagen substances in the muscle layer, so that the blood vessels will gradually narrow and become stiff. Systolic Blood 7 Pressure (TDS) increases as the elasticity of the large blood vessels diminishes in the age to the seventh decade while the diastolic blood pressure (TDD) increases until the fifth and sixth decades then settles or tends to decrease. In addition, in elderly the sensitivity of the blood pressure effect of the baro receptor reflex decreases, as is the renal role, where the renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate decreases (Kumar, 2005). 1. Prevalence Ratio Between Sex With Genesis Hypertension. The results of the study of 99 respondents found that female respondents are more likely to suffer from hypertension than respondents of male sex. The results of statistical tests show that Prvelaneis Ratio between Gender and age RP = According to the theory of women having age at risk can cause hypertension in women. According to Susiolo and Wulandri men have a higher risk to suffer from hypertension earlier. This is because men possessed greater risk to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Basically the prevalence of hypertension in men is the same as for women. But before undergoing menopause, women are protected from cardiovascular disease due to the activity of estrogen hormone that plays a role in increasing the levels of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). High HDL levels are a protective factor in preventing atherosclerosis. In premenopausal women begin to lose little by little estrogen hormone that has been protecting blood vessels from damage. This process continues where the amount of estrogen hormone decreases naturally

8 with increasing age, which generally begins in women aged years (Kumar, 2005). 2. Between prevalence ratio Parts With Genesis Hypertension Statistical analysis showed that no significant relationship between both variables with a P value = 0.77 and RP = 0.86 which means there is no relationship between the tribe with hypertension. There is no correlation to this study because non- Papuans are at risk for hypertension if affected by poor diet and lifestyle patterns. In addition, at the time of the study the number of Papuan respondents more than non-papuan tribal respondents, and also can be seen from Riskesdas data in 2008 the lowest hypertensive spreading areas are Sarmi, Mount Bintang, Yahukimo, Tolikara and Jayawijaya. This study is not consistent with the theory expressed by Susilo and Wulandari (2011) that hypertension is more common in black people than white. Not known with certainty the cause, but the blacks found a lower renin levels and sensitivity to vasopressin larger. This is what causes them more susceptible to hypertension. 5. Between Genetic prevalence ratio / Descent With Hypertension Statistical analysis showed that no significant relationship between both variables with a P value = 0.68 and RP = 1.10, which means there is no relationship between genetic / descent with hypertension. There is no correlation to this study because 51 respondents who do not have genetic / heredity do not know for sure so that the researcher classifies as a group with no genetic / hereditary history. But according to Sheldon (2005) with hypertension tend to be a hereditary disease. If someone from our parents has hypertension then all our lives have a 25% chance of getting it too. If both of our parents have hypertension then chances are we get the disease 60%. Research on hypertensive patients among twins and members of the same family shows that in certain cases there is a hereditary component that plays a role. 6. Work Risk prevalence ratio and the incidence of Hypertension test values obtained P value was 0.72 where the value of the P value (0.72) is greater than a predetermined significant level (α = 0.05) then Ho accepted. Thus Prevalence Ratio calculation results (RP) between jobs with hypertension obtained a value of 0.78 for Confidence Interval (CI 95%) obtained a value of 0.34 to Thus, risky job variables are not risk factors because they are not significant. H1 this is because the CI value (95% CI) includes the number 1 or with the Lower value less than 1 ( ). 6. Ratio Analysis of Risk Prevalence of Obesity and Hypertension test values obtained P value was 0.43 where the value of the P value (0.43) is greater than a predetermined significant level (α = 0.05) then Ho accepted. Thus As the weight gain gained is mostly fatty tissue, it relies on oxygen and nutrients in the blood to survive. The more blood that passes through the arteries the more pressure the wall of the artery receives. Almost all people who are overweight as much as 20% will eventually suffer from high blood pressure. Epidemiological investigation proves that obesity is characteristic of hypertensive patient populations (Korneliani, 2012). 7. Ratio Analysis Prevalence of smoking habits and Hypertension events The results showed that of 18 respondents who had smoking habit who suffered from hypertension as much as 5 (27,7%) and who did not suffer from hypertension as much as 13 (72,3%). While from 81 respondents who have smoking habit who suffer from hypertension as much as 27 (33,3) and who did not suffer from hypertension as much as 54 (66,7%). test P value is the value obtained in which the value of P value of 0.78 (0.78) significantly greater than a predetermined level (α = 0.05) then Ho accepted. Thus statistically the decision can be made that there is no relationship between work at risk with the incidence Prevalence Ratio calculation results (RP) between genetic / descent with hypertension obtained a value of 0.83 in the Confidence Interval (CI 95%) obtained a value of 0.37 to Thus the variable smoking habit is not a risk factor because it is not 8

9 significant. H1 this is because the CI value (95% CI) includes the number 1 or with the Lower value less than 1 (0.37-1,86). 8.Prevalence Ratio Analysis of Physical Activity and Hypertension The following Table 5.8 shows that of 46 respondents who had less than 13 (28.3%) hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients (71.7%). Whereas from 53 respondents who had no risk activity with hypertension as much as 19 (35,8) and who did not suffer from hypertension counted 34 (64,2%). test values obtained P value is where the value of the P value (0.78) is greater than a predetermined significant level (α = 0.05) then Ho accepted. Thus 5. CONCLUSION 1.Ratio prevalence of the risk of age With Hypertension Disease in communities in District Abepura, Jayapura City was Ratio prevalence of the risk of gender With Hypertension Disease in communities in District Abepura,Jayapura City was Ratio prevalence rate risks With Hypertension Disease in society in District Abepura,Jayapura City 0.86; 4. Risk prevalence ratio between genetic / hereditary With Hypertension in District Abepura of Jayapura City was 0.19; 5.The prevalence of occupational risk ratios with hypertensive disease in people in District Abepura of Jayapura City was Ratio of obesity risk prevalence with Hypertension disease in District Abepura, Jayapura was Ratio Prevalence of dietary risk with hypertension disease in District Abepura, Jayapura. 8.To know the ratio of risk prevalence of physical activity pattern with hypertension disease in District Abepura, Jayapura was 0, To know the prevalence ratio of smoking risk with Hypertension disease in District Abepura City of Jayapura. For people, people at risk of hypertension age more attention to the pattern of eating and lifestyle, and multiply sports and multiply relax and rest, so that the body and mind become calm and avoid stress. For further research, it can make the results of this study as a reference and is expected to take other factors that may be related to hypertension with other community. BIBLIOGRAPHY 1.
